Mr. tt. C. Beatty had his team frightened
nv the report of a hunters gun while
hanling wood to Winchester, few days
ago. resulting in the breaking OF his
wagon tongue and the narrow escape OF
one of his horses from being killed. More
care shonla be used while hunting along
the roads as many serious and sometimes
fatal accidents have occurred by careless
or reckless shooting while teams we're

A singular experience is related of a
north-bound freight train on the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, on Thursday eve
ming of last week, at the heavy grade
near Berryville, Va. While descending
the grade gas burst open the fre-box of
the boiler. and, filing the cab with flames,
drove the engineer and fireman out. Be-
fore they left they managed to close the
throttle valve, and the train shortly after
wards came to a standstill. The flames
spread rapidly, and before they were ex-
tinguished by the rrainmen the cab
was completely ruined, and the gauges
upon the boiler had been melted off. An
other engine was sent for to replace the
damaged one. THIS is the first experience
of this kind to the knowledge of the local
railroad men.

A slender circle of gold held an oblong disk of white enameled surface, on which was depicted the tomb, the weeping willow, and the visiting relative Gin this case a widow), all neatly placed under glass. It was an old, old ring, belonging to great-grandmother, who wore it for her first husbands memory, although, as she survived two more, it may have done tender memorial services for all three. The process which converts the golden curl, the brown tress or the gray hair of our lost one into chair jewelrY'' is among the curiosities of sentiment.

In our youth thero clustered about us old maiden aunts wearing chains and bracelets of hair their stiffness seeming to testify to an unyielding sorrow, and their quantity that the ''departed'' must have been Samsons.

REIGN OF THE CORSET.
It Came In With Ancient Mythology and
 Still Maintains Its Sway.

It Came In With Ancient Mythology and Still Maintains Its Sway.
 Jean Jacques Rousseau, with all the power of his genius and all the warmth of the interest which he took in youth, exposed the lamentable corruption of taste which asserts that the figure is excellent in proportion to the waist. The philosopher of Geneva exercised more social influence, perhaps, iii his time than any writer in Europe, and for while stays went out of fashion in France. Stiff corsets were still worn by the ladies of the old court; but sen sible mothers came to common agree ment that their daughters should sub ject themselves to this voluntary pun isnment at as late period as possible, and not until their wedding day were they allowed to wear stays.
 The revolution swept away the corset altogether, as well as hoop petticoats, but stays again made their appear ance toward the end of the First Elm pire. A very harmless affair, scarcely broader than the 'fascie mamillares" of the Romans, was the imperial bodice; for waists were then worn ex- cessively short, and the stays were without busks, stiff pieces of whale bone or steel plates. Modified, how ever, as they were, the strong common sense of Napoleon revolted against the reintroduction of the garment Cor visart," said the ruler, whose business it was to know every thing, to his physiciaD, "the corset is coquetry of the worst taste; it tortures women and maltreats their progeny; it means friv- olityi it heralds decadence."
 On the authority of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the last two generations it may be stated that in the head tight facing produces giddi- ness, headache, pain in the eyes. ring ing in the ears. and bleeding at the nose. Habitual tight facing will pro- yoke that most undesirable addition to the female complexion-a red nose. Tight facing is quite as mischievous in the region of the thorax, to which it gives false support, impeding the de- velopment of the natural support. It displaces the bones, deranges the cir culalion, induces scirrhus in the man. mary glands, and ultimately cancer; and it is tolerably sure provocation of lung disease, palpitation of the heart, and water in the chest. In the abdominal region tight facing may be reckoned upon with tolerable con- fdence to bring about loss of appetite, sQueamishness. indigestion.

induration of the liver, melan- cholia. dropsy, and rupture. Campin closely associated tight-lacing with squinting; Bonnaud said that it led to polypus; Platner maintained that to tight-lacing mothers unhealthy chil- dren were born; Josephi warned the lovers of stiff corsets that their chil- dren would be ugly; ;Wormes remarked that one of the trifling inconveniences of tight-laciLg was swollen feet; and Winslow showed that there was an in- innate connection between tight-lac- ing, curvature of the spine, and hunch- back.
 Every scholar is aware that stays are articles of attire of the very high est antiquity, and that cestus of Agale was practically a corset. Some an- tiquarians have ever contended that the gridle which Juno wore when she wished to appear her loveliest in the eyes of Jupiter was a pair of stays. The Empress Messalina was wont to have her body cravat adjusted very tightly before she preceded to pass happy evening in the suburra, while in the reign of Augustus an im- proved corset was introduced called a ''castula;" it fitted closely to the form, and had the agreeable addition of dress improver.
 The ladies' stays of the Middle Ages were known as 'justaucorps, and subsequently as "cotteshardies; but Isabeau de Baviere, the consort of Charles VI of France, totally repudiat- ed stays, and, besides, laid it down as a sumptuary canon that there should be as little!drapery as possible between the necklace and the lace. When the Italian Catherine brought in the execrable busk, which was first of wood or of ivory, the corset successively developed in rigidity and obduracy. It became cage, it became cuirass, and it had to be so tightly laced that, the muscular power of the ordinary 'femme de chambre' being inadequate to the pulley-hauling required, the court ladies used to send for the strongest of the Forts de la Halle to tug at their stay-laces, and even these athletic creatures could not accomplish their task to the entire satisfaction of their fashionable employers without pressing one foot firmly against the bedpost in order to obtain the neces- sary purchase of leverage. The cor sets of the present day, whether they be machine-made or hand-fashioned from the accurate measurement of the customer, invariably present the same general characteristics of fastening in front and profusely boned at the sides; while at the back there is that disas- trous interstice. with its permanent criss-cross lacing, which can be pulled and hauled at until the vain and silly wearer commits constructive suicide London Telegraph.
